Burlington's ban is in effect from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., with the exception of the downtown district. There the ban is in effect from midnight to 7 a.m. You cannot park in municipal parking lots during the ban. Vehicles can park in the Market Place parking garage and the Macy's Parking Garage on the lower levels, but cars must be removed by 7:30 a.m.

Plattsburgh officials say that violators of the ban will be towed at the vehicle owner's expense. Those signed up for email alerts will get an emailed notice when the ban is lifted.

Many communities have started their season-long parking bans.

Police in South Burlington said any vehicles found parked on roads after midnight will be towed. The city does have an ordinance banning parking in streets from Dec. 1 to April 1 from midnight to 8 a.m.
